Doing without

An American family bought a nice house in Mexico, and packed all their belongings and drove from Texas into Mexico. When they arrived, they all helped unpack and carried every item into their new house, furniture, fridges, computers, bookcases, microwave ovens, television, and many other indispensable items for an American family. A neighbor of theirs, a Mexican gringo, saw them and came over to welcome them. He told them ‘if you have any trouble with your appliances and need any help in repairing them, just let me know, and I’ll be happy to help you.’ The father thanked him and asked him ‘oh, you know how to repair these items?’ ‘No,’ was his answer, ‘but I can teach you how you can live without them!’
